During development of the support for the temperature sensor on the GPY PHY, I've noticed that there is ususually a loop over the name to replace any invalid characters. Instead of open coding it in the drivers provide a convenience function. I'm not sure how to handle this correctly, as this touches both the network tree and the hwmon tree. Also, the GPY PHY temperature senors driver would use it.
